Transcat Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

● | Realized strong operating leverage in Service segment: operating income up 26.0% on 12.7% segment revenue growth
● | Service segment revenue growth offset by lower Distribution segment sales
| ○Distribution sales impacted by oil & gas industry
● | Expanded life science market position in Southern California with acquisition of Anmar Metrology, Inc.
● | Generated $5.3 million of cash from operations in year-to-date period

ROCHESTER, NY, October 26, 2015 – Transcat, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRNS) (“Transcat” or the “Company”), a leading provider of accredited calibration and compliance services and distributor of professional grade handheld test, measurement and control instrumentation, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended September 26, 2015. Included in the reported results are those of five acquisitions over the last twelve months.

Lee D. Rudow, President and CEO, commented, “Our Service segment performed to plan in the quarter with double-digit revenue growth and operating margin expansion, demonstrating strong operating leverage for the segment. However, we experienced a significant downturn in our Distribution segment due to the decline in the oil & gas industry combined with the strength of the U.S. dollar. We remain focused on initiatives to improve the performance of our Distribution segment and expect to continue to grow sales and gain market share in our higher-margin Service segment, both organically and through acquisitions.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Review (Res u lts are compa r ed with the se cond quarter o f fiscal 2015)

Second qu a rter consoli d ated revenue was $29.5 million, d o wn $1.6 million, or 5.3%, over the p rior-year period. Se r vice segme n t revenue g rew $1.6 million, or 12.7%, offset by a $3.2 mil l ion, or 17.4%, decline in Distributi o n segment sales.

Second qu a rter consoli d ated operating income fell $0.1 million to $1.4 million. The year-over-y ear decline wa s driven by r e duced volume in the D i stribution s e gment, which was not f ully offset by the operating l e verage achieved on Se r vice segm e nt revenue g rowth. Ne t income was $0.9 milli o n, a 2.2% increase ov er the prior-y ear period. Diluted ea r nings per s h are were $0.12, consi s tent with th e prior-year period.

Service segment revenue and operating margin expanded

The Service segment represents the Company’s accredited calibration and compliance services business (48% of total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2016)

● | Combined organic and acquisition-related revenue growth drove the Service segment revenue increase of 12.7%, or $1.6 million, to a record second quarter of $14.2 million.
● | Service segment gross profit improved $0.2 million, or 5.8%, to $3.5 million. Gross margin for the segment was 24.4%, down from 26.0% in the prior-year period.
● | Operating income increased 26.0% to $0.8 million, and segment operating margin expanded 60 basis points to 5.9%. Operating leverage in the quarter was 10.8%. Operating leverage is defined as the year-over-year change in Service segment operating income divided by the year-over-year change in Service segment revenue.
● | Service segment contribution margin grew 9.5% to $1.8 million from $1.7 million in the prior fiscal year period. Adjusted EBITDA increased 27.6%, or $0.3 million, to $1.6 million. As a percentage of Service segment revenue, Adjusted EBITDA was 11.3%, a 130 basis point improvement over the second quarter of 2015. See Note 1 on page 4 for descriptions of these non-GAAP financial measures and pages 9 and 10 for the Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation table and the contribution margin calculation in the Additional Information – Business Segment Data table.

Distribution segment sales declined; Gross margin improved with vendor rebates

The Distribution segment represents the Company’s distribution of professional grade handheld test, measurement and control instrumentation business (52% of total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2016)

● | Distribution sales declined $3.2 million, or 17.4%, to $15.3 million in the second quarter, primarily due to market weakness in the oil & gas and related industries and weaker sales to customers impacted by the strength of the U.S. dollar.
● | Distribution segment gross profit was $3.3 million, down $0.4 million, or 10.3%. Gross margin was 21.4%, a 70 basis point improvement from the prior-year period. Vendor rebates accounted for 190 basis points of segment gross margin in the quarter.
● | Reduced Distribution segment operating costs partially offset the year-over-year decline in segment gross profit, resulting in segment operating income of $0.5 million, a decrease of $0.3 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2015.
● | Contribution margin for the Distribution segment was $1.7 million, down $0.4 million from the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $0.8 million, down from $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. See Note 1 on page 4 for descriptions of these non-GAAP financial measures and pages 9 and 10 for the Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation table and contribution margin calculation in the Additional Information – Business Segment Data table.

Six-Month Review

Total revenue was $59.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2016, a 1.8% decline from $60.2 million in the prior fiscal year period. Consolidated gross profit was $13.8 million, a $0.2 million improvement from the first half of fiscal 2015. Gross margin increased 70 basis points to 23.3%, primarily due to increased Distribution segment vendor rebates.

Service Segment:

● | Revenue for the first half of fiscal 2016 increased 12.1% to $27.7 million, driven by organic and acquisition-related growth. On a trailing twelve-month basis, Service segment revenue was $54.8 million, an increase of 10.2% when compared with the corresponding trailing twelve-month period of fiscal 2015. The Company believes that trailing twelve-month data is more indicative of the long-term progress of the Service segment.
● | Service segment gross margin was 25.2% in the first six months of fiscal 2016, consistent with the prior fiscal year period. On a trailing twelve-month basis, Service segment gross margin was 27.2%, an increase of 80 basis points when compared with the corresponding twelve-month period of fiscal 2015.

Distribution Segment:

● | Sales in the first half of fiscal 2016 declined 11.5% to $31.4 million.
● | Year-to-date Distribution segment gross margin increased 90 basis points from the prior-year period. The improvement in gross margin was aided by increased vendor rebates, which accounted for 160 basis points of segment gross margin in the first six months of fiscal 2016.

As a percentage of total revenue, consolidated operating expenses were 19.2%, up from 18.8% in the same period of fiscal 2015. Fiscal 2016 year-to-date operating income improved 5.4%, or $0.1 million, to $2.4 million. Net income was $1.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the first six months of fiscal 2016 compared with $1.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the prior fiscal year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2016 compared with $3.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2015, an increase of 11.6%. See Note 1 on page 4 for a description of this non-GAAP financial measure and page 9 for the Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation table.

Strong Balance Sheet Supports Growth Strategy

As of September 26, 2015, the Company had $17.5 million in availability under its secured revolving credit facility.

Capital expenditures in the first six months of fiscal 2016 were $2.7 million, up from $1.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2015, and were primarily for expanded Service segment capabilities and assets for the Company’s rental business. The Company expects total capital expenditures to be approximately $4.0 million in fiscal 2016.

Outlook

Mr. Rudow concluded, “We expect to continue to successfully execute our strategy for the Service segment and look for it to deliver double-digit top-line segment growth in fiscal 2016. Given the challenging market conditions in our Distribution segment, consolidated operating income growth for fiscal 2016 is now expected to be in the low double-digits.

“Looking beyond this fiscal year, we remain confident in the opportunities presented by our Service segment, both on the new business and acquisition front. With the recent acquisition of Anmar Metrology, we strengthened our presence in Southern California, which has a significant concentration of life sciences and aerospace companies, prime customers for our services. We are also optimistic that our new instrument rental service, enhanced web platform and the further leveraging of cross-sell opportunities between our two segments will drive improvements in the contribution from our Distribution segment, which generates strong cash flow. Long term, Transcat is in an excellent position to advance our market position as a leader in calibration and compliance services.”

NOTE 1 – Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting net income, a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measure, we present Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income and expenses, and non-cash stock compensation expense), which is a non-GAAP measure. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA allows investors to view its performance in a manner similar to the methods used by management and provides additional insight into its operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated through the application of GAAP and is not the required form of disclosure by the Securities and Exchange Commission. As such, it should not be considered as a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure. The use of any non-GAAP measure may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies. See the attached Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation table on page 9.

Contribution margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, consists of gross profit less selling, marketing and warehouse expenses. We believe contribution margin provides management and users of the financial statements information about our ability to cover our operating costs, such as technology and general and administrative expenses. Contribution margin is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. The material limitation associated with the use of contribution margin is that it is an incomplete measure of profitability as it does not include all operating expenses or non-operating income and expenses. Management compensates for these limitations when using this measure by looking at other GAAP measures, such as operating income (loss) and net income (loss). For further details on contribution margin, see the calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure and the reconciliation of contribution margin to gross profit in the Additional Information – Business Segment Data tables on page 10 and 11.
